That's probably the worst answer I've read on Tom's Hardware, lol. I'm trying to determine if I really do need to go buy one or not. Because, I'm broke and must spend frugally right now.

Could someone PM me and help me over Skype or Steam understand the S.M.A.R.T. info produced by these utilities? Help me figure out if I need a new HDD.

I do. I am very OCD about keeping my stuff up to date. I'm 95% positive it's not the GPU, as I said, I'm looking at my almost 4 year old HDD that has ran almost 24/7. Any other ideas? I'm downloading Memtest86 to check my HDD out in depth from a software point of view. Also CrystalDiskInfo

Hey guys, another troubleshooting post with my rig :D Sometimes this makes me feel like I'm bad at building PCs... ANYWAYS, I RMA'd my graphics card (was crashing BAD!) and got my new one, and it runs like a dream, like I expected it to the first time around. So.. Whats the problem? I had...

I have vsync forced already.

Well, I have tearing when I'm watching streaming video a lot, I was curious how to clear that up.

Why? :( I've made three postings in graphics hardware, the 1st got great replies and help! The second didn't even get read by anyone but me for two days, then I re-posted it, and no one has helped me this time around...

Okayyyyyy, disregarding the site's wonky login system, I am posting about this issue a second time after being ignored for two days. Anyways, I have been watching Breaking Bad again, and was wondering if there were any experts that could help me determine the best settings to watch streaming...

Hello? Does tomshardware just hate me? :( I'm gonna repost this question again if i dont get any replies in the next hour...

Hi there, 2nd post on here about my graphics card ^^ Anyways, I have been watching Breaking Bad again, and was wondering if there were any experts that could help me determine the best settings to watch streaming video :D I of course am talking about the Color, Quality, and AMD Steady Video...

Eh, I'm pretty sure it was my mobo adjusting the auto settings, and it was just telling me there was some increased voltage. I've been gaming and listening to music and also watched a few YT vids, new card is running great.. As said before, never trust OEM drivers :P This whole headache could...

So, what of these high voltage warnings? Should I not worry? Is it because my auto settings are adjusting to the new card now that I have everything installed proper? Also, I'm well aware I went overkill on my PSU (I even got modular!) the idea was to get a PSU that would last me a very, very...

My AISuite is now warning me of high voltage usage in my mobo.. :/

The AMD Drivers have installed. Software info: Driver Packaging Version 13.152.1.8-131008a-163824C-ATI Catalyst Version 13.9 Provider Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1331 2D Driver File Path...

I disabled the gfx of my APU in BIOS, and made sure that everything for gfx would go to my GPU. I'm about to uninstall the OEM drivers and install AMD's. And yes, the only hardware that I changed was the GFX card. I pulled out an old wifi card as well.
